Service Dates: May 19, 2008 - October 24, 2008
Mt. Adams Center Trail Teams are composed of five members and two Team Leaders. Teams will focus on trail work in front and back country settings throughout Oregon, Washington and California, but may also be engaged in a variety of restoration projects such as building riparian fences, invasive plant removal and tree planting.
Residential Summary:
Some teams may be based out of the Mt. Adams Center in Trout Lake, Washington.
Satellite teams will spend the majority of their term away from the Mt Adams Center, either camping at project sites for weeks at a time or living in housing located near their project site for the entire term. These teams may stay at the Mt. Adams Center intermittently during training days or between projects. All team members assist with residential chores such as meal preparation, cleaning and recycling at their housing site, the Center and at camping sites.
Examples of Projects and Team Diversity:
- The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Team works from Southern California to Northern Washington doing trail work exclusively on the PCT. Throughout the season the team hosts volunteers and works with them on the trail. The PCT Team camps on the trail for much of the summer and will be based out of various housing locations on their days off.
- The Mt. Hood Team works in the Zig Zag District of the Mt. Hood National Forest. The team will live in a historic Forest Service cabin and work on a variety of trails in a front country setting.
- The Gifford Pinchot Team will split its time between the Mt. Adams District and the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument of the Gifford Pinchot Forest. The GP team works on trails in both the front and back country, camping when they are at Mt. St Helens and living out of the Mt. Adams Center in Trout Lake while working on Mt. Adams.
